AJ's skill is extremely unique and my entire body feels better after his magic. Before an appointment one time my shoulders and neck were quite stiff and after the appointment I immediately felt it was easier to turn my head to check my blindspots while driving home. His ear massages put me to sleep almost immediately in the best way possible. To me, his massages can feel more effective than full body hands-on massages as it truly feels like energy can be released through the specific points he works on and he seems to be very in-tune with what the body needs. My mood is always elevated after an appointment, the worst part is when the appointment is over and my body is wanting more. I discovered him through a former reflexology practitioner in the area who moved away years ago and I am SO glad AJ is available! His style of massage is very hard to find. While traveling in other states I haven't been able to find anyone who matches his skill level in truly understanding how effective reflexology is and how healing it can be. Can't recommend him enough!

So - when I got her newsletter - a week or two ago - notifying me to her new location in Palo Alto, her April specials, and her Katz Meow treatment - I knew I had to return for a dose of her talented touch. I even went all the way down to the Peninsula on Caltrain on a sunny day (which, for those who know me well, is typically reserved for art sessions in Hippie Hill) for Corey :) But the trip was worth it. Corey is phenomenal. She's not only one of the most gifted estheticians that I have ever been to, but she's also incredible at bodywork, and just a fun, loving, and good person. A session with Corey will soothe your body woes, your face troubles, and it will feed your soul. That may sound hokey - but it's true. Corey has always strongly believed in nourishing the skin with natural calming and moisturizing products. But at her new practice - in Palo Alto - she now couples all of the elements of a well executed facial with healing wonderful bodywork. The rationale is that skin and the body are intertwined and if your body is stagnant - your skin will most likely be as well. So why not address both - in a mind blowing session of pampering and attention. Corey's been doing bodywork for an extensive number of years now - and as Ingrid S - pointed out - she even used to work with high profile bands and Broadway productions. My whole Sunday session with Corey was pure bliss. She fixed the alignment of my neck and back. She eased my muscles and encouraged blood flow in my back with cupping (http://www.itmonline.org/arts/cupping.htm my first time trying it). She massaged my fingers and feet with heavenly smelling lavender lotion and then proceeded to plump my skin with her carefully selected products and soothing use of hot and cold stones. Purely euphoric. What's particularly comforting for me - is that I know my skin will stay fresh and glowing, long after the treatment - thanks to the products that Corey uses. Corey doesn't try to oversell you when it comes to products and has whittled down her product list to a very select few things - - which are all gentle, but effective for the skin. If you don't like a product or have issues with a certain product - she encourages you to bring it back or to ask questions on how to best use it. I've tried a number of estheticians in the city, and while I've sung the praises of a handful and have awarded one or two - five stars - I truly reserve the utmost praise for Corey. Corey does her craft because she loves it and is passionate about it. She focuses her all - on all of her clients. You feel special when you enter and leave her peaceful sanctuary. Sashaying back to the Caltrain, with loose relaxed shoulders, I kept on staring at my reflection in car windows. My clean, fresh, and luminescent skin shone brightly on both dusty and just washed car windows. Trust.

I have been seeing Corey for about 6 years now and she is amazing. I went to her for major TMJ pain…read moreand head tension and while there is no cure for this other than changing your own habits and posture every time I see Corey I am significantly better for months and months after. Corey's work combines multiple different areas making a visit with her truthfully worth it.. you get the relaxation , deep tissue work and benefits of a massage, the adjustments you would expect at a chiropractor, and deep pressure Rolfing techniques. While the procedure inside the mouth for tmj is painful it is a good pain as you can feel the immense amount of tension and knots being released. When I see Corey she really considers the patient as a whole not just looking at the jaw but understanding it's all connected throughout the body. She has furthermore helped me address other issues such as back pain, sciatica, foot pain from making the wrong movement while exercising etc. She is truthfully a miracle worker and I highly recommend a visit with her she has and continues to help me tremendously!

Plenty of free parking lots and street parking nearby (street parking limited to 2 hours from 9-6pm, except Sundays and holidays)... I parked right in front of the entrance on a Sunday afternoon. Got the combo massage (30 min foot, 30 minute body) which was $50 + $5 additional charge for credit card payment. It was more like 10 minutes on the feet and 50 minutes on the rest of the body. This massage was half clothed. My masseuse had me remove my top and wear a spa wrap garment, covering my upper body but open on the back. The shared massage room had four beds total with curtains that could separate the individual spaces to make them more private. The environment was dimly lit with soothing melodies playing in the background. The pressure during my treatment was good, on the strong side as requested, with the use of hot stones, heated pads, and ashiatsu. I was surprised to find they do back walking in the shared room, but I don't mind a variety of techniques being used as long as it's effective. I honestly don't need all the extras (like burning stones and fancy coverings), just a simple massage focused on loosening my knots. And my masseuse did that for the most part, though she was more successful when using her elbows and forearms. Staff was friendly here too, even with limited communication. Overall, I had a positive experience.

She's operating out of her home in Santa Clara. Finding her place was easy- she also came to parking area to make sure I find the place. A few things that led to a meh experience- I have been to multiple places, including some who operate out of home, so naturally I'm comparing against those. This one felt weird. 1. The table is set up in the living room with one divider to cover shorter side (head) only, so the table is exposed in the longer side and quite open, with almost zero privacy. 2. Communication: I was expecting lymphatic massage but she suggested lymphatic is not good as it is very mild. Instead she would do a combination of lymphatic and will use pressure points. She kept pushing for it so I reluctantly agreed. During the massage she checked a couple of times about pressure, which was good. However the massage itself was just okay. Towards end of the massage she said her fingers hurt because she had to massage using fingers vs elbow. And she asked if I still wanted lymphatic but we are already at one hour at that point - that felt very off and weird. I declined because I didn't know if that would mean extra cost or not. It was also weird that she rolled her eyes as it to indicate it's a burden for her. The bed was warm but room was cold, with sofa and all open mess around. Overall it was pretty bad experience. It could be because she operated out of her home, but it was weird.

Nobody rushed me with "hello what do you want" or shoved a color wall in my face before I even sat down. I actually felt like a person, not just another number to get in and out. It wasn't until I was sitting there that I realized how used to bad treatment I'd gotten. Other salons trained me without me even noticing, packed into a tiny space, treated like I'm on a conveyor belt, rushed out before my nails even had time to properly dry. I had honestly forgotten my time and my experience mattered. Delane's brought that back for me. The professionalism was on another level too. No games with the price going up if you don't tip in cash, which is honestly tacky and rude and tells you exactly how little they think of their customers. Nobody crowding me in next to three other people either. It was calm, it was peaceful, it actually felt relaxing instead of stressful. And the cleanliness. Towels were fresh, equipment looked properly cleaned, none of that murky blue water sitting in a dirty container that's clearly been there for who knows how long. Even the bathroom was clean, and that alone tells you a lot about how a place is really run. Once you go to Delane's and get treated with that kind of value and respect, you won't want to go back to anywhere else. And honestly, you shouldn't have to. Ask for Brandi.

I needed to be done with the massage by 10:50 AM and out the door by 10:55 AM since I live within walking distance. At 9:20 AM, I received a text asking if I could move my appointment to 9:55 AM. I agreed, but clearly replied that I needed to leave by 10:50. They read the message. I arrived around 9:52 AM and found the door locked. The business hours posted said they open at 10 AM, so I thought it was odd that I was able to schedule an appointment before opening. After waiting a few minutes, someone let me in. I got into the massage room around 9:58 and then waited another few minutes before the massage started. At that point, I could already tell things were running behind. To be fair, the massage itself was excellent. She did a great job, and I genuinely enjoyed the service. I kept trying not to stress about the time because I had already communicated my schedule and assumed it would be honored. Unfortunately, when the massage ended and I checked the time, it was 11:05 AM. I was now late for my meeting. What made it more frustrating was that I had specifically communicated my timing needs ahead of time. Another thing I found a little unusual was paying for the service upfront. Tipping is done afterward through Venmo, cash, or card. When I told her I would Venmo the tip as soon as I had internet service again (you know how Palo Alto can be), she seemed concerned and appeared to want me to stay until it was completed. Normally that wouldn't be an issue, but I was already running late and had to rush home. Overall, this was a mixed experience. The massage itself was very good, and that is the reason I would consider coming back. I just wish there had been better communication and more effort to respect the timing request that I clearly communicated in advance. Unfortunately, the stress of *literally* running back home took away from some of the relaxation I had just paid for.

I booked one hour Holistic Thai-Swedish massage with Nirisara. Nirisara is really good and super nice! I highly recommend the "grapefruit" scent (they give you a choice of lavender, grapefruit, and....smthg else I can't remember) at the beginning of the massage. Choose grapefuit and thank me later. First part of the massage was what I call the "meat tenderizing" portion where Nirisara will legit crush your muscles to relax them. (I asked for "medium-firm" pressure). She delivered! But the Thai portion of the massage also includes range of motion stuff. They'll literally pick up your arm or leg and start manipulating it, or put it in a particular position to then help you stretch better. At some points, Nirisara physically got on the massage bed (which seemed heated and comfy to me) to use her elbows and full weight to massage large muscle groups, like my spinal muscles. The massage started off with meat tenderizing, then a little Thai range of motion-y stuff, then full blown Swedish massage with oil, and then more Thai stuff. They work your full body: feet to scalp! I'm not sure if it's because I might have been the last booking for the day, but my massage was over an hour. I kept dreading my hour would be over, and it kept going! And at the end they gave me Fiji water and a pack of trail mix. Conclusion: I am enlightened!!! I thought my massage was great!! I will be booking a follow-up massage in the upcoming weeks because they have such a vast repertoire! Don't let the name of the business fool you, they also have full Swedish massage, hot stone massage, deep tissue, prenatal, etc etc! While my service was free (due to the gift certificate) I did leave a tip for Nirisara. I would 100% book with her again! Per the website, the cost of my one hour Holistic Thai-Swedish massage is typically $145.

It was weird, I should have left but because I had a good experience the first time I decided to wait it out. I waited about 7 minutes and someone opened the door, and told me to sit (the person didn't say sorry but pointed to. A chair) so I sat, and waited. I thought about leaving but too much time had passed so I decided to wait it out, and yes it was one of those decisions that you regret after. I waited 32 mins past my appointment, when they finally showed up and led me to a massage room. This is where it got worst, it was one of the worst massages I have ever gotten, filled with elbows and nails- l had to tell the massage therapist to take it easy, but she was scraping my skin with her nails, I don't know how that works. Honestly, I was disappointed. On top of that they charge 5% credit card charge, my message for an hour was $100 they charged me 105 before tip because of the credit card fees. This should be a business charge! The first time I was here, I had a great experience and loved the massage therapist and they honored my massage time. It was 90 minutes massage for $150 and I tipped $40 but they had charged me $45 so 12.5% credit card fee!! The $150 was a gift card I had received for my birthday and I wanted to tip well because I had a good experience besides the credit card fee! Which I thought was in error but I let it go.

There's add on's such as hot rocks, aromatherapy and cupping to name a few if you're looking for a more tailored experience. I felt refreshed at the end, and all the tightness in my muscles went away from my gym lift session. This includes a facial massage also which you can opt out of if you want. My friend was equally satisfied, feeling loosened up and great also. The atmosphere has calming spa music playing and the rooms are dimly lit and very clean. Nothing fancy - just the bare essentials for a great massage. I may try the cupping and aromatherapy next time. Maybe I will try Swedish instead of deep tissue. W Spa is a more economical option for this affluent downtown area of Palo Alto. Get a massage then grab some lunch or dinner. We will definitely be back and so happy to see they're open late night and seven days a week!
